Pedigree goes a long way in the mobility industry. Companies who have stood the test of time and all that has been thrown at them are well received among both their peers and customers.

Millbrook has been operating in various forms since 1943 — and as a mobility company since 1995 — and now Phillip Campling has the task of steering it towards further growth and ensuring it continues to trade for more generations to come.

In recent years, Millbrook has moved from strength to strength under Phillip’s leadership, starting its first clinical wheelchair service in 2011, gaining its first home improvement agency contract in 2015 and setting up its first specialist wheelchair seating facility in 2016, the same year that it also won its first sensory impairment contract.

And this year it was confirmed that Phillip’s company now runs more than 30 healthcare services, providing a vital resource to local authorities and the NHS.

Under his direction, the group increased its turnover by a massive £22m between 2015 and 2016. Such is Phillip’s success since 2008 that the group now carries out 18,000 wheelchair assessments a year, delivers 800,000 pieces of community mobility equipment and covers around 7.6 million people with its equipment contracts.
